Sure, the Celtics don’t have anywhere near the coaching or playing experience in the Finals as the Warriors do, but the game is all the same. Golden State ended up outscoring Boston 28 to 19 in the fourth, and that ended up being the difference. They were on their home court, they had the fans at their back, and they entered the final frame down by one with the score at 79-78.įor whatever reason, the Celtics couldn’t match the Warriors’ intensity, and that was with Draymond Green having another disappearing act.
